Brief:
This kit is a single stage, "fantasy scale" rocket, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, and in good shape. Ya scallywag! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Arrr! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, matey, however, matey, I found t' be sub-standard. Ahoy! Arrr! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, matey, but reinforced them with bits o' Balsa t' strengthen them. Blimey! I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, arrr, TLP, me hearties, and other companies. T' parts all went together easily enough, me hearties, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Aye aye! Arrr! T' span o' t' fins be just a bit too short, me hearties, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Avast, me proud beauty! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' Man-O-War. Blimey! T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Arrr! Prime, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, ya bilge rat, me bucko, and paint t' nose red. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! Blimey! After that, t' decals go on. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Blimey! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, me hearties, ya bilge rat, I got distracted with some other projects, me bucko, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Blimey! Overall, arrr, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Blimey! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, me bucko, ya bilge rat, which I consider a safety issue, me hearties, were made o' sturdier stuff. Ahoy! Avast! Blimey! T' poorly-fittin' ring/fin arrangement costs them as well.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I've had two flights on me Satellite Drone so far, matey, both very successful. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! Blimey! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but be recovered. Avast! Blimey! T' second resulted in a short hike, arrr, shiver me timbers, but was otherwise uneventful. Begad! Blimey! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that was included. Ahoy! Blimey! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, ya bilge rat, even before t' first flight. It still drifts considerably. I'd enlarge t' spill hole, but I'm worried about breakin' those narrow forward fins.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' final product is a very nice looking, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, unique Man-O-War. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
